Tristan's character, Dixon, (who is a singer) will be going on tour and leaving the famous zip code behind. At the start of the current season, it was revealed that Dixon had spent his summer on a hip-hop tour, so this will be his second tour (but the first time Tristan will miss any episodes).

Though Tristan plays one of the leading roles on the series, the ensemble nature of the remake provides for plenty of other series regulars to help fill the void.

A rep for the 22-year-old actor has not replied to request for comment, and there are no further details regarding his illness at this time.
